Excellent post. Sums up my views for the most part too.

These.
So many people talking about things they just don't know about and blaming all and sundry bar those responsible for this sad situation. And it won't stop now, we should have terminated his contract, continued help behind the scenes and let him move on properly so the club could. As it stands now, it's all just still in limbo including his family.
I hope they're taking some family with them, especially the girlfriend. We know what he's capable of if things don't go his way. Being alone with an abuser* in a foreign country, without knowing the language or having any friends/social safety net is the opposite of what victims* of abuse should experience.
*Alleged, of course...

You don’t know what happened. Stop making stupid claims like he’s some cereal killer. It’s not even funny no more. Just stupid.
If he came back he would get a Frostie reception…
I wonder if he does well and we have a change in ownership re: Sheikh Jassim, would the club change course and bring him back? I wouldn’t discount that possibility.
You'd still have the fruit loops loving it...
Sorry I’m abit of a Special K’ace.
I think his return would be more plausible if the Glazers remain as owners as new ownership wouldn't want to begin their reign with a controversy hanging over them.
I know she suffered abuse and I worry about her well being because of her circumstances in Spain. I'm not claiming it's going to happen, I'm just worried it might. I don't see how this is controversial.
I certainly hope Mason gets his life in order....he understands he fuked up and really just focuses on his family, child and football.
as a father with two girls, i would have had a difficult time not wanting to kill him if it was as bad as it appears. Would i have the same grace as it seems like the gf's mom and dad have? maybe not but i would also respect my daughters opinion and her wishes. If they as a family showed him grace and gave him an opportunity to make amends and be a good father/boyfriend then we can't judge any of them.
the kid is a world class talent but also a very spoiled rich young man who is obviously quite immature but does that really surprise anyone?

I have never heard of Rachel Riley before this. From what I gather, she weighs the same as a duck.
I watched Getafe vs Barca a few weeks back.
They seem a mean, very physical team. Masters of the dark arts you can say. Led to Raphina using his elbow against one of their players and getting a red.
Im sure Greenwood will fit in just fine.

Take that Rice Krispies you snap, crackle and popping bastards!
Weetabix he smashes it in Spain?
His game doesn't have much to do with his personal life. He's always been pretty timid on the pitch, I don't think that's gonna change.
Pretty much worse case scenario all round as far as I'm concerned.
We don't get to carry on selecting the player as other PL cubs have in very similar situations - and as we are with a current player.
We've offloaded him, yet still somehow getting worse PR than those teams stlll selecting those other players. And not only aren't we getting any money from the departure - we're still contributing to his wages so we're still paying him to play for someone else!
I was never expecting the tabloid / social media world to make it possible for us to bring him back into the squad, but I was at least hoping we'd either sell him for some money or release him and have his new club pay his wages.

Your concerns and post were completely reasonable. I would ignore any suggestion to the contrary.
His reputation is in Shreddies
Correct.
Much more likely under the miserly Glazers or the Brit favouring, ‘fatherly’ Jim Brexit than if Jassim takes over.
I murder granola whenever I can
Yes I agree, way too many cornflakes on here
Rachel Riley, where have you been all my life.....and when are you going back there?
All these cereal puns are doing my head in. That's it for me. Cheerios chaps!
Greenwood was one of our lucky charms for years, too, so it’s a real kix in the nuts.
This is his only way back. A change in ownership will be followed by change in leadership as well, and we all know that ETH wanted him back anyway, so we could easily change our minds over this. I hope we don't.
All this depends on him having a great season, otherwise it'll be all over and United will terminate his contract.
Morality police.. people always have different morals when it comes to issues like this, that's the truth. Some people would have no issues with the Qataris owning United, but would with this, and vice vera etc.
At the end of the day the hard fact is that he's a potential £100m asset to United. If he does well it's good for the club financially. Morals are subjective as always.

She's made a decision to stick with him and now they have a child.
Tbh this is no criticism of your post at all I just don't think it's for random football fans to involve themselves into. None of us know the full circumstances of their relationship.
On the face of it the best thing for her would be for him to carry on playing for United, but that's not how all the people supposedly defending her would have seen it, and unfortunately there's the bigger issue of it being in the public domain and the message it would send to other lads coming up to his age. Half of them already seem to think Andrew Tate is a role model.
As apposed to the posters who continually defend a domestic abuser and want him to play for our club again? Those posts are way worse.
Crafton thinks he is judge jury police everything. Make him king with power and do away with any system.
Since his story a week or two ago, his ego has grown.
Doesn't sound like Greenwood had learnt there are consequences to his actions... surprise, surprise. His performances on the pitch shouldn't matter at all.
Not that I ever believed he wrote or even laid eyes on the statement his lawyers and representatives released on his behalf.

Types like Crafton need a Fergie to keep them in order.
Fergie’d sort the cnut right out and make it crystal clear to him where he stood - i.e you’re a fecking nobody and if you meddle in my club you’ll come to regret it.
As he would’ve done with Greenwood as well.
Why? The likes of Crafton are highlighting how incompetent the higher ups at the club are at making the correct decisions.
Greenwood should have had no option but to move away from United, but yet our higher ups had the decision made for them by Crafton. Imagine that, a journalist forcing a football club the size of United to make the right decision. It is well and truly embarrassing.
Every credit to Crafton and those within the club that put their neck on the line to leak it to him.
Go write about Todd Bhoely Crafton!!
Why… is Crafton a bad person? He’s done really well.
The fact Greenwood thinks this is vile.
Don’t kid yourself Wum, Crafton doesn’t give a flying feck about Greenwood’s partner, or ‘the right thing’ - he hasn’t, doesn’t and won’t give any other ‘moral issues’ in football anywhere near the same energy.
He cares about clicks and engagement and furthering his own name and career.
He’s a cnut. And Fergie would’ve put him right in line - as he would’ve with Greenwood.
I understand that you agree with what he’s pushed for, and I have no issue with that.
But you can’t have journalists and vacuous celebs like Riley running the club. It’s insane.
Even if you agree with the outcome, the way it occurred should concern every Utd fan massively.
These people are serving their own, selfish agendas, they are hypocrites and vultures.
